Want to be part of something special and make a difference? We offer you the space you need and boost your confidence!
We employees are the beating heart of the tropics! A functioning team in which each individual feels good is the best guarantee of our joint success. That's why our 23 teams cooperate closely with each other. Together we create the magic that makes Tropical Islands so unique. Come on board! We look forward to having you on the team!
What we want, what is important to us, and how we achieve it can be summed up in two simple principles:
On the basis of mutual respect and appreciation and a strong sense of responsibility, we develop our targeted plans of action. This guarantees high quality standards and boosts our success. Only with this approach can we be excellent hosts and make Tropical Islands one of Germany's most successful holiday resorts.
It's not only the best of the tropics you'll find in Krausnick; the Spreewald also has plenty to offer. Whether you fancy a tropical holiday world or a boat trip down the Spreewald's little canals, this is where the exotic flair of the tropics and the historical-cultural landscape intersect. From the tropical sandy beach, it's just a short distance to the charming and idyllic nature of the area surrounding the resort. The popular "Gurken" bike path is also a great option for exploring the region by bike.
Tourists from Germany and abroad benefit from the synergies of this highly attractive and diverse destination, the Spreewald in Brandenburg.
The flamingos need to be fed, the Rainforest tended to, the Whitewater River kept safe, and above all the visitors need to be looked after.
Keeping everything running smoothly is an amazing challenge every day. How we do it? The we is our secret. It's largely thanks to teamwork, good humour, a high level of commitment, fun, and passion for our work that our guests leave Tropical Islands with a smile on their faces and wish they were back here as soon as they set off on the journey homewards.
In just nine months what was once an airship hangar was converted into Europe's largest tropical holiday resort. At the time it was hard to imagine that this huge building full of bare concrete, dust and heavy construction vehicles could be transformed into a tropical paradise offering azure waters, a sandy beach and palm trees where guests could relax and enjoy themselves. On December 19, 2004, Tropical Islands opened its doors for the first time. As time passed the remaining empty spaces were covered with tropical-style architecture, luscious vegetation, new attractions and a sauna and spa complex.
Follow the development of our resort in the timeline below.
The Jungle Splash water playground stretches across 650 square metres and is more than 15 metres high in places, making it one of the largest in all Germany. Its eight slides and other fun features are a big hit with guests of all ages.
The pleasantly rustic overnight stay experience that offers a pleasing combination of luxury and camping atmosphere!
Our Glamping Luxury Tents combine camping flair and comfort. The exclusive living area and separate sleeping area with a four-poster bed and bathroom with free-standing bathtub offer a tempting and satisfying experience for both camping fans and those who put comfort first.
In 2017, 30 Nature Homes are added to the resort. This new option for overnight stays offers additional space and features panorama windows.
Tropical Islands undergoes its biggest expansion since it was first founded. Open all year round, the outdoor area Tropical Islands AMAZONIA features a variety of open-air attractions that can be used no matter what the weather. The tropical landscape's total surface area increases to cover 100,000 square metres.
To cater to sustained high demand, another 60 Woodland Homes are built.
Tropical Islands celebrates its 10th anniversary after greeting guests from Germany and abroad for a decade. Nowadays we welcome more than a million visitors - each year.
With the inauguration of Brandenburg's first Woodland Homes park another category is added to the resort's list of accommodation options.
Since planning began in 2008 numerous options for overnight accommodation have been created. In total 195 rooms and lodges with 516 beds as well as 133 tents with 350 beds are available to guests who want to stay overnight in the Dome.
In 2010, with the opening of the Pearl Harbour area another important step was taken as regards themed attractions. From that point on, in addition to individually designed rooms and lodges our guests have the option of spending the night in a setting that invokes the times when buccaneers roamed the seven seas.
The campsite opens. Stretching across 60,000 square metres it offers enough space for 92 caravans, mobile homes and tepee tents. The addition of a leisure centre and a wide range of sports activities in both the indoor and outdoor areas combine with the natural beauty of Tropical Islands' setting in the heart of the Spreewald to enhance the resort's international appeal.
In 2007 the resort's attractions are enhanced with the addition of the tropical sauna complex. Eight themed saunas spread across 10,000 square metres. A large selection of wellness and spa treatments are also available to our guests here.
One of the resort's main attractions opens: the waterslide tower. At 27 metres tall, this is Germany's highest waterslide tower and features four different slides. The record speed so far on the Turbo Slide is 74 km/h.
It's still hard to imagine that one day the Dome will be home to the world's biggest indoor rainforest, but once the special foil roof that allows UV rays to penetrate the interior is installed on the Tropical Sea side, the biotope starts to grow and flourish.
In 2004 Germany's first tropical resort opened. Making this dream come true involved a number of major building projects. The Tropical Sea alone stretches across an area of 3,000 square metres. The sandy beach that fringes the sea consists of 860 cubic metres of fine sand. The 1,200-square-metre Lagoon skirts the monkey rock with its waterfalls. The swimming areas are not just the main attraction for our guests; our lifeguards also get to enjoy having one of Germany's most beautiful workplaces. The world's biggest indoor rainforest is home to 50,000 plants and 600 plant species as well as parrots, flamingos and turtles. At 27 metres tall, the waterslide tower is the highest in Germany. The Bali Gate forms the entrance to the Tropical Village, where most of our catering facilities are located. The colleagues from the Food and Beverage Department work here in buildings and huts many of which are made of original materials from the tropics. The components were made in Borneo, Bali and Somoa according to traditional techniques and then shipped to Germany and reconstructed in Tropical Islands. Located on one side of the Dome, the Tropino Kids Club is a playground paradise for kids and stretches across 4,000 square metres. Not just the kids but also the colleagues who work here have plenty of fun.
The decision is made: the former Zepellin hangar is to be transformed into a tropical holiday resort.
